Hachirogata Vacations from ￥42,372

Amenities are good. Room size above average. Toilet and bath separated , clean , modern and functional. Beds are comfortable. Outlets conveniently located. Writing table well placed. Being a JR owned hotel gives it proximity very near to Akita train station.

The room was rather large but bathroom was a squash. An XXL person would not fit in it. Room was clean and the view fantastic. As mentioned paying in excess of Y35,000 you would expect a full breakfast option- no Japanese food but toast and jam - that's it !

Ryumontei hotel is a beautiful gem! The room was spacious and clean. The entire ryokan was designed around the gorgeous and huge Japanese garden which made every moment at the ryokan a picturesque moment. A must visit during autumn! The hotel was conveniently located within short distance to nearby tourist attractions such as oriase stream, lake towada and mount hakkoda. Oh and the dinner at the ryokan was out of this world! Sadhimi, crab, beef, fish, abalone... everything was presented beautifully!

Managed yo get good price for 3 weeknights.Stayed in many many dormy in the past. As usual, the onsen is very good with cold, outside n inside pool. Free stick icecream, washing of clothes n night noodles. BF is quite standard and variety change slightly. Room small, bed hard, service good. However. Pricing has at times shot through the roof. Other like minded newer onsen hotels are entering market.

Japanese attention to detail was everywhere. Food, tatami mats, onsen and wonderful staff made us feel very welcome.
